Greetings Tom! I don't have cream corn available in my country (i just saw that this exists) what can i use instead of it? I just got my fishing licence and would like to make my own boilies.

[@OutsidewithTom]

@@Doile911 Cream corn is just regular corn that has been blended up. You can make it in a blender. Otherwise, some other ideas are canned pie filling, fruit puree, sweetened condensed milk, fruit preserves, syrups, almost any sweet liquid will work. Even water if that's all you've got. Good luck!

[@Doile911]

Garlic is great , as is salt , curry powder , gravy granules , Marmite/veggiemite , fish sauce . All supermarket ingredients much cheaper than shop brought boilies

[@aljosamiklozic2184]

Great job...what do you use for feeder? Do you use same stuff?

For the feeder, I use a different mix that usually contains oats and corn. Check out my other carp fishing videos for more info. Thanks for watching.

[@karpfensucht2023]

Nice Video

[@OutsidewithTom]

Thanks

[@BigMuddyFishing]

Do you have any videos where you show how you tie up a hair rig and show you putting these boilies on hair? I will look around your videos..

[@OutsidewithTom]

Sorry, I don't have any videos showing how I tie up a hair rig, maybe I should do that. Here's a video that shows some closeups of how I put bait on the hair. It's corn in this video, but I do boilies the same way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmrbZoChm8iNaLM

[@RalphBarton-fishing]

I'm all stocked up..... warm weather coming next week and mostly followed this with the exception I used the cereal I had in hand which was honey nut cheerios... But I think they came out ok... So sorry to ask all the questions but what are using for bait stops

[@OutsidewithTom]

Nice! I don't mind questions at all, I love talking fishing. For bait stops I just use little pieces of twig.

[@amirtaghvaei9313]

Awesome and effective base mix. How much is the weight percent of corn flakes in the final base mix?

[@OutsidewithTom]

Sorry, I don't know. I never measure.

[@jasonkuhn8687]

What kind of rig do you use with the boiles? I recently started making them, and noticed they stay on hook.... But also cover the hook. Next question, is this something you would use on a pay lake with your pack bait around it?

[@depewrob]

have you ever tried sprinkling garlic powder on the boilies right after you pull them out of the water before they dry ? just curious if you think it would do any good

[@OutsidewithTom]

I'm sure it couldn't hurt.

[@kerrywil1]

Tom. How did your butter and creme corn boilies do when used? Thanks

[@OutsidewithTom]

Great.

[@cichy_fishing]

👌👍

[@OutsidewithTom]

👍

[@BigMuddyFishing]

This might be a stupid question, but you said don't add tap water due to the chlorine: Does boiling it in tap water make a difference then? Sorry if I missed that in the video if you touched on it. I am just wondering how the chlorine does not get into the boilie when you boil it.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Good question. This is just my thought, but I assume that the boilies are so dense that no boiling water actually gets into them when cooking. I may be wrong. Either way, I've caught lots of fish on these and they work. I just did a bit of googling and learned that boiling actually removes chlorine from water (it evaporates). Apparently it is what home brewers do when making their beer. homebrew.stackexchange.com/questions/3447/what-are-the-various-ways-to-remove-chlorine-chloramine-from-tap-water

[@Hey_its_Koda]

Could use garlic powder and corn meal? How do keep small fish from nibbling and stealing the bollies?

[@OutsidewithTom]

You can use cornmeal in the recipe, but you also need to have wheat flour to make a firm dough. If you use only cornmeal, you will end up with a crumbly mixture. Boilies don't get stolen by small fish because they are too big to fit in their mouth, and too firm for them to take bites. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

[@Hey_its_Koda]

@@OutsidewithTom ok thanks man. I followed your receipe and it worked. Got some carp on strawberry bollies.

[@jameslaw3740]

If too sticky when rolling , i like to add icing sugar , gives it a little more taste.

[@KamranAli-ji2lp]

Very nice method . One question : would it float or sink

[@OutsidewithTom]

They sink.

[@trustn01rs]

If you boil them they will sink, if you microwave them for 30 seconds or so they will float

[@lenlvovsky]

Thanks for a video. Are they floating?

[@OutsidewithTom]

These don't float. Check my other videos for a floating recipe.

[@PeelingLine]

Good recipe. Flatten your dough into the thickness you want the boilies -> cut strips same thickness -> cut that into cubes. Put 2 cubes in your hand and roll them both at the same time. You can also just keeo them in cubes. Carp do care about the shape.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Yeah but they look so much more professional as little balls, and since I'm a fishing professional, that's how I must do it. Just kidding, hahaha. Good idea, thanks!

[@PeelingLine]

@@OutsidewithTom haha, For chumming I usually just do cylinders because it's super quick. On pressured lakes in England the carp are weary of round food and other shapes can be an edge. Here they aren't so picky.

[@OutsidewithTom]

@@PeelingLine Yeah, there's no fishing pressure on carp around here for sure.

[@PeelingLine]

@@OutsidewithTom Just with arrows and snagging hooks.

[@justingriffith9682]

Microwave them for a 30 seconds or minute or so and I believe it makes them float, you prob already knew that though😎

[@OutsidewithTom]

I've tried that a few times, it's kind of hit and miss. Sometimes they will float, sometimes not.

Could you use coconut milk instead of liquid corn ??

How many cups of cornflakes would you say that is?

Not sure, maybe 4 or 5. I use half the bag of corn flakes. It doesn't need to be exact.

Can you freeze these

[@OutsidewithTom]

Discussed in the video.

[@kellyk3889]

Why not put a little cheese cloth in each one, and run the hook thru the cheese cloth?

[@OutsidewithTom]

That would work, but carp are pretty weary of hooks. If they feel the hook in the bait, they'll spit it out. You'll probably still catch fish, but probably less fish. A hair rig helps with that problem.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Good idea, by the way.

[@kellyk3889]

@@OutsidewithTom You can still hair rig it, as long as some of the cloth is hanging outside of the cooked boilie. cheese cloth may not be quite strong enough.

[@OutsidewithTom]

@@kellyk3889 True. These boilies are pretty firm and would probably stay on a hook just fine without anything extra. I've never tried it though.

(he was like telling me, who is that dude who think he can catch us with silly corns) lol. So anyway, i will try different mix i guess

[@jdjovanelli]

My boilies are not floating. Why?

[@OutsidewithTom]

These boilies aren't supposed to float. If you want floating baits, you need to mix in a flotation ingredient such as cork granules. Search for how to make pop-ups. I don't have a video on how to make pop-ups, maybe I'll do that in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@jdjovanelli]

@@OutsidewithTom Thank you

Try dog biscuits 👍

[@mrmrsfitzsimmons]

If you put them in the microwave they will be pop ups, only for a minute tho watch not to burn.

[@OutsidewithTom]

​@@mrmrsfitzsimmons You're right. There is a very fine line between cooked and burnt with those. Only way I've found to get it right is to cook for 30 sec, wait 30 sec, cook for 30sec, wait 30 sec, and do that like 5 times.
